walgreen's stock tanked at the end of the day. i guess patriotism has its price. i'm ali velshi. >> hi everyone. this is al jazeera america. i'm john siegenthaler in new york. gaza's uneasy peace i peace. the longest brake yet and the are struggle to go past three days. warning to ukraine. nato says russia could find an excuse to send troops across the border. password protection protecting

your identity. plus, a new start. young refugees who escaped with their lives are finding new hope in america. >> tonight, there is hope that the three day ceasefire in gaza could last even longer. the current truce runs out on friday. israel says it's ready to extend it but it's not clear for how long or whether hamas will go along. jane ferguson is in jerusalem and jane, as you know, diplomats have been meeting in cairo today. what are you hearing about those talks? >> well, those talks are indirect talks, john, between all factions in gaza. the israelis and the egyptians. now, the talks have really just started and they will go on for several days. as you have said, if the ceasefire can be extended beyond its deadline of friday morning

8:00 a.m. local time the talks will likely continue. by now, both sides are putting forward their position. hamas has said they want the blookd to be blockade to be lifted. in and out of the gaza strip. the israelis say however they really want the disarmament of hamas to lay down their weapons and the kasam as they are known to be disarmed. both sides are extremely far apart in their position so far. basically we'll have to see if the egyptians who are brokering these talks can bring the two tides clossides close together e ceasefire which is fragile can be extended. >> jane can you talk about the

israeli prime minister's defense of that military operation in gaza? >> it was a strong defense john put to the national press. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu drew ton fact that he has been saying and the israeli line has been constantly throughout this conflict that hamas has been firing rockets from civilian areas what they say are civilian areas. what they did in the press conference was really push that line essentially blaming hamas therefore for civilian deaths. take a listen to what he said. >> let's imagine your country attacked by 3500 rockets. your territories infiltrated by death squads. what would you do? what would you demand that your government do? to protected you and your family? you'd demand that, and you'd be right. >> and also, in this same press

conference what he did was, he drew on some pieces, some filming that has been done, and pieces that have been done where they did manage to film hamas setting off rockets, and they had a television screen set up and in front of the international media he played those elements saying this is what we would like to be reported on, encouraging journalists to do that. now this is not just about a pr war with hamas on the international scale. it's also about the israeli prime minister being able to show israeli society that he is putting out israel's argument. israel's side of this conflict and how they view a reaction to the extremely high death toll in gaza which has drawn so much criticism from the u.n. even from the u.s. state department in recent days. >> all right jane ferguson in jerusalem jane thank you. and one of the most vocal

critics has been the leader of the israeli labor party, isaac hehertzog. >> i gave credit for reasonable decisions which i thought were taken by the government and by benjamin netanyahu. i thought he showed utmost restraint. i thought he was focused in his decisions. i thought he was correct in accepting ceasefires and moving on in a terrestrial manner in an effort to dig up the tunnels under the homes, under kindergartens to be used for abduction for killing citizens for grabbing them and taking them to gaza. all of these decisions were reasonable and i think in this respect it was okay, actually. and this is the general feeling, now whether i demand, i request, that it must be coupled by a

political process with our neighbors, with our partners, with our allies, to this convergence of the interest of moderate nations in the region and i would do my best to present a peace plan and try move on with the palestinians. >> so considering that how do we move on from here and how does israel work with the palestinians and what should the rebuilding of gaza look like? >> okay well one needs to carve out an exit strategy that makes sense. how should it be carved out? first of all, ceasefire and humanitarian aid to gaza instantaneous. secondly, reauthority of palestinian authority led by mahmoud abbas, therefore a major rehabilitation program funneling the funds through palestinian authority, with the support of egypt, so it is scrutinized in

order to not to go again to tell, in order that your citizens will not pay their tax money to go to tunnels and terror infrastructure, but rather, for well-being and benefit of the citizens of gaza. >> that's isaac hertzog. hamas has fired rockets in israel in self defense. >> it was israel that printed these responses by attacking gaza and people in gaza and designated people. if israel does not attack there will be no rockets. rockets are a very primitive mean of self defense in front of israeli constant attacks from gaza. israel is ready to approach no nonvoint resistance.

>> that's mustafa bargudi. gather crucial supplies and assess the damage. charles stratford son the ground there. >> hi john. along with the human cost, over 1800 killed, comes the massive gaza strip infrastructure. i went south of the gaza strip and this is what i found. >> the blackened remains of the only source of electricity inside gaza strip. egypt and israel are still supplying a little power but since this plant was hit, 80% of gaza's 1.8 million people now only have an hour of electricity a day. hit gaza's infrastructure hard. >> we pleaded four times with the israeli army not to target us. we coordinated with the united nations in gaza. they ignored us. our early calculations put repair costs at around ten to $15 million. >> reporter: the palestinian

deputy prime minister says rebuilding gaza's infrastructure and the thousands of destroyed homes will cost around 6 billion and that is just an initial estimate. israel says from the very beginning it was only going to target hamas military targets. i'm standing in the middle and that road was still being built with qatar's money. as you can see it's been hit by a massive israeli air strike. qatar is already investing around $450 million into building gaza's infrastructure. other arab states, the european union and turkey are also long established donors but israeli's blockade of gaza means that people haven't had a reliable sewerage system for years, without the power to drive the pumps sewerage now increasingly flows in the streets. israeli military has also destroyed many businesses in the

private sector. >> translator: at least 175 factories have been hit including manufacturers of medical goods, foods, construct products. israel has to open the borders so we can get machines and tools to start rebuilding. >> this is what's left of gaza's largest factory. a family business of 40 years that made biscuits and breads. just repairing the structural damage could cost $2 million. he said the israeli military told hymn repeatedly it wouldn't target the factory. >> translator: there are 600 people who work here. what are they going to do now? it's going to take two years to rebuild this factory. i give a lot to charity. i can't do that now. i just can't afford it. >> reporter: cement is vital for rebuilding gaza and this is what remains of a seattle factory. the company had only just finished $3 million worth of

repairs from the 2008, 2009 and 2012 conflicts. >> translator: this factory has been hit four times during the previous wars. it's going to cost me another $1 million to repair this time. we hope the international community can help. >> reporter: israel says it's completed the destruction of hamas's tunnels. it's also destroyed many of the buildings that used to meet the basic needs of gaza's people. a look there at the terrible damage that has been done to gaza's economy and its infrastructure. we've got to remember that gaza has been here before. in previous wars. but never on this scale. back to you. >> that's charles stratford reporting from gaza. this doctor knows the war, he's the first israeli doctor hired,

doctor, welcome, good to have you on the program. >> thank you. >> in a recent piece in the guardian newspaper you wrote that the consequences of war go ten times beyond what we see on television. can you explain? >> because the people they saw what happened with me with the killing of my three daughters and niece and the wound. but the wun wound is still continuing, the scar is deep and large. the emotional, the spiritual and what do i see every day on daily basis what is happening in gaza with innocent receivables and what is happening now. what are you covering these days after the ceasefire it's not what they do, on the screen, it's the souls which has been wounded forever. it's those who lost their beloved ones forever. it's the children. it's the mothers. it's the house he. it's the life. war is a genocide, war is torture of humidity and the consequence of war can stay for

decades and generations. >> take us inside . so what else don't we see on television? >> you don't see the suffering of the people there. and the wounds, the people, the families who were annihilated, when i saw these children's they lost their own families. all their families were annihilated. they are asking the children wrtion my mother, where is the -- where is my mother, where is my father, the house is demolished. as i said to you, the mental, the psychological consequences of this war and the suffering is not going to be recovered. and to recover from that within minutes or days or years. the wound will stay there forever. >> talk about the humanitarian needs in gaza. >> the palestinians they need this humanitarian need. and urgency. but also the sustainability of the humanitarian need and the most porn need the palestinians

are in need of is their freedom, to feel. they are free palestinians, it's the only nation which is deprived of the freedom of living independent in a state as other nations. that is what is needed. we need to tackle the right problem. it's a disease, and the disease is the occupation. we need to get rid of this economic destructive disease which is called occupation. at that moment when we see the occupation to become a history and palestinians are to be free and israelis to be free from their arrogance and in greed then the violence which is a result of the exposure, it's the result of the occupation, then there will never be violence. >> many families in this region are going through what you went through when your daughters were killed. can you give them any advice about how to get through this and what it was like for you? >> i will say to you, which i seal these families, thank god i lost the three beloved daughters

but thought about families that they were completely annihilated. but i see people who are alive don't accept to be defeated. even palestinians i say to them, the israelis they can be killed, they can destroy they can do everything but we should never accept to be defeated. the defeat is the defeat of the soul. we must be resilient, we must survive and move forward and i see to people it's not with hatred it's with determination with keeping us strong because hatred is are destructive to the one that carries it, we should build a shield around us. we are determined to move forward and will never be victim more than once with the killing with the destruction we are victims but with hatred we are victims another time. >> dr. abu laish thank you for sharing your story with us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. >> later tonight we're going to take an in depth look at life and death and diplomas in the

middle east conflict. for amonth in gaza and israel our reporters have are witnessed the biggest moments of this war. take a look. >> people are extremely upset because they say israel knew, for those who already had to flee the area because of israel's military campaign. >> the killing since we started to move if we've been seeing, showing fireworks and police obviously decided now at the moment. >> these people who have come to the streets taken to the streets in protest, siege of gaza, the violence there, they're angry they want it to stop. >> here i.t it comes. >> oh (bleep). >> that was our own nick schifrin. we're glad to see you safe and sound at home. >> thanks john.

>> i saw you wince. how was this? >> this was the most emotional, half a dozen more that i've been to. as you say, the doctor says, the children. the people the victims of the violence, the people perpetrating the violence are young men with weapons and guns. this time there was some 400 children killed. thousands wounded. and even more than that, traumatized and so meeting them if they're still alive, meeting their parents, talking to the woman who feels like she has to move her children, separate her children every night, just in case an israeli air strike hits her house in one room and that she doesn't want to lose all her children all in one strike. that's very difficult to cover and truly emotional to see those families and to see how bald they've been affected. >> you just flew in early this morning but can you talk a little bit about what it's like as a journalist to cover this story, not only the emotion of

seeing the children but trying to keep yourself safe. >> yeah, i mean we try and take precautions wearing vests as you saw in all those clips, helmets perhaps. >> not often. >> no not often enough perhaps. and what we obviously try and do is not go to plagues that we feel -- paces that we feel are completely unsafe but ultimately what we experience, one soldier once put it to me in a different conflict. you don't get conflict experience, you get conflict exposure. that's the difference what we go through and what the people of gaza go through. we can go in and out, to our hotels at night. the people of gaza have to listen to the drones or the f-16s or feel rumble of the bombs in their houses, they have no lesk no water. where -- no electricity, no water. we are slightly more comfortable but they can't leave. >> nick is going to be back with

us tonight for much more on this month of violence and the hope of peace in the middle east, we hope you'll join us for our special report, 30 days of war, it starts at 11 eastern, 8 pacific time. still ahead, the experimental ebola treatment. why the president said he's concerned about it going into widespread use. plus the complex relationship between the united states and africa leaders. this. >> i'm lisa stark, the president talked about a number of domestic issues in a wide ranging news conference just ahead.

>> al jazeera america presents >> i don't want to work at the farm for my entire life. >> 15 stories

one incredible journey edge of eighteen coming september only on al jazeera america >> the spread of the deadly ebola virus in west africa have nigerians trying to contain the outbreak. more than 900 people have been killed in west africa. including a nurse who treated the first patient and five nurses in nigeria being treated that disease. the nigerian country plans to limit travel to the countries with the most ebola cases. >> to place this area in close scrutiny in terms of limiting travel into and out of those particular areas. >> nigerian health officials admit they were slow to quarantine a sick patient last month. now they are handling eight

expected ebola cases. now a new york city patient with ebola-like symptoms tested negative for that disease. he went to the emergency room on sunday night with a high fever and gastrointestinal symptoms. he is stable and improving. two americans who contracted this disease are still being treated at an atlanta hospital. both have shown signs of improvement after taking an experimental sear ux. next week the world health organization will talk about using experimental ebola medicines in west africa. president obama said it's still not known whether it's reliable. >> i think we've got to let the science guide us and i don't think all the information's in on whether this drug is helpful. what we do know is that the ebola virus, both currently and in the past, is controllable.

>> on the website of the world health organization, it said there are still questions about whether a drug that's never been tested and shown to be safe in people should be used in the outbreak. president obama's comments about ebola came during a news conference this afternoon wrapping up the three day u.s.-africa leaders summit. he talked about the ebola outbreak, the bother crisis and our presence in africa. lisa stark is standing by with that. lisa. >> john as you you can imagine the president was asked about the israeli-gaza conflict. he said right now the u.s.'s goal is to keep this ceasefire in place. he said long term measures must be put in place so the people of gaza feel there is some hope for the future. >> i have no sympathy for hamas. i have great sympathy for ordinary people who are struggling within gaza.

>> now, the president said that gaza cannot sustain itself if it is cut off from the world, if the borders are sealed. but he also reiterated that israel has the right to defend itself and the people of israel must also have measures in place so that they feel comfortable that rockets aren't going to be continually launched at their cities. john. >> lisa let's switch gears here and the president was asked about his use of executive power in regards to the immigration crisis. tell bus that -- us about that. >> well, he asked if he would grant work permits to those in the country illegally. he side stepped that question but he did call the immigration crisis or the immigration system a broken one. he said it's underresourced and that he will use his power to move around resources as sees fit for example to put more immigration judges at the border to deal with the migrants at the border, the young migrants who

are coming in and on the issue of executive power john he says he doesn't have a green light, he's restrained by the constitution but he indicated he's not going osit around twiddling his thumbs the americans don't want him to do that and he will do whatever can he. >> he was asked about countries limiting press freedoms and he mentioned our can colleagues that are in prison in egypt. >> he did indeed. three al jazeera colleagues they've been in jail for more than 200 days, they're facing years in prison allegedly for helping the outlawed muslim brotherhood. al jazeera denies those charges. the network has been calling for their release and today president obama added his voice. >> the specific issue of the al jazeera journalists in egypt we've been clear both publicly and privately that they should be released. >> and the president said he is concerned about laws being passed around the world that limit the freedom of

journalists. he said openness and transparency is key to good governance. and that good governance issue was one of the key topics as he wrapped up his africa leaders summit today. the president stressing to the leaders that openness and transparency are critical if they want to grow their countries and grow them economically. john. >> all right, lisa stark reporting thank you. still ahead cycle of violence. harsh words for israel from united nations leaders. how israel is defending its campaign in gaza. after hackers swiped a billion online accounts. a thought about password protection. and this. >> i can see myself changing a tech company. >> the changing face of tech. the stride silicon valley is making to be more diverse.

plus violence spreading elsewhere in the middle east. a look where the islamic state is on the attack. and a warning from nato. the russian troops stacking up on the ukrainian border. back to our top story tonight. hope for a longer ceasefire in gaza. the three day break in the fighting is the longest since the conflict began four weeks ago. there are hopeful signs from the peace negotiation necessary cairo. israel has reportedly agreed to extend the ceasefire but despite the truce hospitals in gaza are still struggling to take care of thousands of wounded. mts taya has more. >> three brothers, three different prognoses, when

israelis targeted his house, the right treatment he should survive. the youngest mohamed has suffered burn and shrapnel injuries. his condition is so bad doctors don't think he'll survive long enough to reach his second birthday next month. their cousin was also in the house when it was hit. >> translator: the israelis are criminals. where is the humanity, these are just children. they did nothing, they didn't resist they were just sleeping. >> mohamed calls out for his mother but she isn't there to console him. she and four other members of the family died in the same attack. the united nations estimates that thousands of palestinian casualties are civilians and have called on world powers to investigate whether israeli's army has committed war crimes.

most of these babies have only known conflict. they were born over the past several weeks. medical workers say since fighting began there has been a sharp increase in early births. the doctor who runs the neonatal unit says he is struggling to keep the babies alive. >> the machines running well, sometimes we are finding it hard to repair. we have shortage of staff. this problem i said before, it causes many babies to be their life at risk. >> reporter: one month into this conflict and close to 3,000 palestinian children are wounded. hundreds have been killed. medics say they disprild need dd help to help children like mohamed. this conflict has lasted four weeks. many paying attention to what's

going on in cairo hoping that leaders can come up with an agreement for a lasting peace. >> that's mts tayeb reporting. israel has faced criticism over its movement in are gaza today. benjamin netanyahu. >> from the threat of terror tunnels built to sent death squads into israel to commit terrorist atro atrocities againt israel's citizens to kidnap and kill. israel deeply regrets every civilian casualty. every single one. >> the u.n. secretary-general ban ki-moon calls it a senseless cycle of suffering that needs to stop. he called on the international community to support efforts to rebuild gaza and kristin saloomey reports from the united

nations. >> this meeting was a chance for all u.n. member states to hear about the situation in gaza and to express their views. the meeting started with a series of briefings from various officials, all of them recognize the security situation in the region but tended to focus on the suffering of palestinians as a result of this conflict. some of the recurring themes had a we heard was the need for accountability, for the attacks on u.n. facilities in gaza, schools were bombed and we heard ban ki-moon and others calling this for a violation of international law and calling for accountability. we heard u.n. officials talking about the need to lift the blockade on gooz and the issues of d on gaza and the issues of palestinian rights fueling a cycle of violence. other states expressed these

states. the general assembly, the security council is toying with the idea of a resolution but remains divided on the way forward. some members of the security council would rather wait to see how the talks in egypt play out and then respond to those talks and since the council is divided means no action will be taken. >> kristin saloomey reporting. tonight we take a closer look at life in gaza during this month-long conflict. 30 days of war starts at 11 eastern, 8 pacific. gaza violence has surged in other parts of the middle east. fighting led by the armed group that calls itself the islamic state. jetblujonathan betz is here. jonlt. >> her people are slaughtered and among many begging for help

to stop the sunni rebels. another holy shrine fell in iraq over the weekend and as islamic fighters push further into the country tens of thousands of more civilians were pushed out. the suffering brought one iraqi law make are to a breaking point. after earlier targeting christians the group that calls itself the islamic state are now focusing on other religious states, like the yazidi. >> thousands of yazidi have been killed and thousands have become refugees. 40,000 have fled their homes. >> fighters from the islamic state group have threatened to kill iraq groups, they have been seizing land from syria to iraq and now for the first time

lebanon. after briefly taking a lebanese border town this weekend fighters agreed to a ceasefire and have indicated they'll pull out. still, some people there have blocked aid from reaching the village, worried it would only help the rebels. iraq has been fighting back with air strikes. 60 fighters in mosul were killed on wednesday, car bombs in baghdad followed killing at least 50. there is a power struggle in parliament. members have still not named a new prime minister. the current leader, 94 nouri al maliki. >> israel is one of those states that doesn't want stability in iraq or syria. >> fighting as the country splits part. observers feel a new leader

might have more success in removing those are fighters. john. >> thank you, jonathan. russia has now at least 20,000 combat ready troops on its border with eastern ukraine. nato says russia could use this as a pretext for invasion. moscow denies. mark jacobsen is a senior advisoradvisor. mark welcome. >> thank you for having me john. >> we just got news that the nato chief ra rasmussen is headd to ukrainia ukraine, what do yok that's about?

>> takes the threat the potential threat posed by the russians seriously. and i think we've seen over the past few months that nato takes the russian actions very seriously and not only have we seen bilateral support, their military looking at training and exercises but across nato's landscape i think we're seeing an increased pace of exercises and operations designed to explain to putin that nato sees what he's doing and it's unacceptable and it's against the international order that's worked so well to keep the peace in europe these many years. >> and mark we've heard the president at this press conference suggest that the sanctions were working against russia. how do you measure that? >> i think the president's absolutely right. while on the surface, you know we take a look at literally the photos and it may look like putin's strong because we see 20,000 troops massing along the

ukrainian border. >> he doesn't look like he's backing down. >> well but this is an economic battle as well. and frankly in those terms his army's in retreat. you look at the capital flight out of russia since the sanctions have gone into effect. you take a look at the fact that there's really no growth in the russian economy. the sanctions have been only in effect for a couple of months but they are affecting those who are financially supporting putin. i would point out that in the last week and a half indicated a shift to targeted reforms, but the sectorial reforms in the military and financial sector and i think as we see these move on they'll have a greater effect ton russian economy. >> do you -- onlt russian economy. >> do you think putin would invade ode on the guise of sendg in emergency workers? >> it is possible but i don't

believe he would do this. that's for two reasons. first if he operates in that way i think he incurs the combined rath of the european union, north america and frankly most of the world and i think he would rather operate underneath that threshold and continue to in ukrainians, to continue to antagonize his neighbors. and if you see if you take olook at what he's been doing -- a look at what he's been doing it's hard to get cohesion across the eu and the atlantic. >> as we heard earlier in the broadcast, russia is beginning to put some pressure on the eu countries like france, economic pressure on them. what happens if russia puts its own economic pressure on the eu? >> the key vulnerability for european nations is energy. and when we're talking about gas and oil supplies as we start to approach the autumn and the

winter, the europeans will feel a bit of a squeeze. and that's why we feel over the long term efforts to strengthen european energy independence from russia are going to be critical. but i would also note that not all our european allies are playing the same strong hand against the russians. it is the are french who will continue to go through with their warship sale. and the germans have decided to stop any european training and sales to the russian government. >> mark it's good to see you, thanks very much. >> my pleasure john. >> a biggest case of computer hacking yet. more than a billion user names and passwords were stolen. scrambling for way to make data secure. our science and technology expert jacob ward joins us from

san francisco. >> it's not that these guys are geniuses. this russian crew called cybervol were using a very established hacking technique of sql, mining through for user names and passwords. they just did it on a scale that nobody had ever seen before. they used a virus to infect somebody's computer, any times you used a computer with an infection, they got a lot out of the deal. it just really goes to show that the text-based password is just not going to work anymore. >> okay so what about technologies that could replace passwords altogether? >> that is next step that everybody is talking about. already there's moves towards biometrics, involving you putting your eye up to a

scanner. already we have seen those fall to hackers, holding up a picture of the owner of the laptop, that's a dumb solution right there. so now people are looking at sort of unique behavioral characteristics, the way that you hold your phone is evidently very unique to just you, and the phone can tell the difference between the angle which you hold it or i hold it, the level at which we hold them, the way that you type into a keyboard, literally the pattern of key strokes, the speed at which you reach them, the game like systems for trying to establish identity in the future because as we've learned obviously a typed out john siegenthaler password is not going odo it. >> you have your iphone where you can use your fingerprint to open it up, instead of a password, but as we heard before apparently even this can be broken. >> it's essentially true. >> go ahead.

>> there's just such a massive industry here of people who are all about doing about this happen and essentially when you learn about sort of the financial incentives that these guys have i mean they can literally make millions of dollars never leaving their house by simply attacking these various systems. as you say it takes even a few months for these biometric systems to fall. we are going to have to change the game going forward. >> jake ward, thank you. >> thanks john. >> some of the most lucrative systems in the country, especially true if you are white and asian and a man. when it comes to diversity, we get more from melissa chan. >> it's the middle of summer but these high school students have chosen to stay in class in order to learn to code. >> these classes, it's something i'm good at and i'm interested in and i actually enjoy doing. >> the students have taken

classes for two summers, learned basic coding and over the past two weeks have created a video game. jessica is going oshow us how it works. >> in class we have learned a game named mole mash. >> women and certain minority groups aren't landing very many jobs. this group tries to change the calculus. take google, by the company's own admission only 2% are african american, 3% hispanic and women make up only 30% of its workforce, twitter is also predominantly white and male. with 3% hispanics, 1% african americans and a gender divide where 30% of its workforce are women. now tech companies defend themselves by pointing out the problem starts years before they get a job.

the board says of the 30,000 students who took computer science test less than 20% were female, 8% hispanic and 3% were african american. no one knows exactly why this is case but poor public schools in ethnic neighborhoods are less likely to offer computer science courses and the geek nature of silicon valley some say have put off women, many women in tech have stepped forward as mentors. >> we do a lot of tests. >> hiring decisions are made. and she works with uma krishnen who will be a senior, worrying about college applications very soon. >> in the future i can see myself running a tech company. i like computer science and i like business a lot so i can see myself doing something like that. >> change will not happen

overnight. women like her will have a better chance to take on tech. melissa chan, al jazeera, san sn francisco. >> and coming up next, they escaped violence how young women are coming together to build better lives.

>> good evening i'm meteorologist kevin corriveau. we are about 24 hours from landfall here for hawaii. this is going to be iselle. this is category 4 very powerful. it has weakened but don't think it's going to be weakening much more by the time it gets to the big island. we think thursday night local time there. the track is then going to take it to the south of the rest of the island chain and that puts the rest of the islands in the worst part of the storm. i'll get to that in just a moment. julio has increased, we think it's going to veer a little bit

more towards the north and not make a direct hit but it's still going to bring a lot of rain on already the saturated islands by the weekend. hurricane warning is in effect for hawaii, tropical storm warning in effect for maui. 25 foot waves across the island as well as rain totals anywhere from five to eight inches locally, 12 inches of rain and that means flash flooding is going to be a problem. that's a look at your weather. news is next.
